| AN ACT concerning health.
|
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Cigarette Health Warning Act is amended by |
| 5 |
| changing Section 2 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (410 ILCS 85/2) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 8232)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 2. Legislative Findings. The
The General Assembly |
| 8 |
| finds
that there is a need for public information about the |
| 9 |
| risk of
harm to unborn children when women smoke cigarettes |
| 10 |
| during
pregnancy. The United States Surgeon General has |
| 11 |
| recommended
abstinence from cigarette smoking during |
| 12 |
| pregnancy. Since the
adverse effects of cigarette smoking |
| 13 |
| during pregnancy are
preventable, the General Assembly finds |
| 14 |
| that it is in the public
interest to provide warnings at places |
| 15 |
| where cigarettes are sold
about the risks of cigarette smoking |
| 16 |
| during pregnancy. |
